Starting out as an experiment, Hella Jongerius notes this design became a viable idea very quickly, with the delicate composition of pastel shades catching the eye as soon as the first sketches were developed. The Polder Compact isnt just about looks however, a sofa also has to provide comfort; here, the Polder Compact excels. Asymmetrical cushion sizes and placements create a distinctive design, ideal for becoming the centrepiece of your home. The sofa is available in either right or left armrest height options, allowing you to tailor the sofa to your desired space.
